Lower Mississippi Region Comprehensive Study. Appendix I. Agricultural Land Drainage.
Abstract
The purpose of this appendix is to define the status of existing land drainage in the Lower Mississippi Region and to quantify future needs for land drainage consistent with the study's objectives and projections. Studies leading to compilation of this appendix involved preparation of a present and projected inventory of agricultural lands having a wetness hazard. The primary source of information utilized was the U.S. Department of Agriculture 1967 Conservation Needs Inventory, adjusted for land clearing, and supplemented by other pertinent information. Inasmuch as the Lower Mississippi Region is predominantly agricultural, primary empahsis herein is placed on drainage problems and needs related to agriculture. Only cursory examination of other drainage problems and needs is made. Drainage of urban areas is not considered to be within the scope of this appendix. (Author)
